Todays word

10-2-07

Todays word is to be less ignorant of others, there background,color and what there going through. Lets take the Jena 6 for instance and this is not to cause a rage but clearly to express an opinion. I was going through the blogs today and came across a couple things that hit me close to the heart. This was that white college students were dressed up like african americans in black face and reenacting what went on in jena louisiana. This isn't what really makes this incident bad but the fact that the person posted it and then tried to retract it and apologizing saying that they were drunk and playing around, and that the person or her friends weren't racist and didn't mean to affend anyone. Well if they weren't trying to affend anyone they wouldn't have posted it anyway. This not a joking matter a peoples lives have been turned around because of this. And its not that we didn't racism still exist it just was brought to our front steps in this day in time. Not only african americans deal with it is all races, but african and white americans just bring it more to the fore front. These kids who posted that we know where it came from which is in the home and to end this is to educate and do better at the same time. And that my word.
